WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Rep. Mary Miller (R-Ill.) of Oakland has apologized after drawing national criticism for quoting Adolf Hitler during a rally Tuesday, Jan. 5, two days after taking the oath of office.
Miller was speaking to the group Moms for America outside of the U.S. Capitol when she said, “Each generation has the responsibility to teach and train the next generation. You know, if we win a few elections, we’re still going to be losing, unless we win the hearts and minds of our children. This is the battle.
“Hitler was right on one thing – he said whoever has the youth has the future. Our children are being propagandized. Today, I want to encourage you to do two things. Fill your children’s minds with what is true and right and noble, and then they can overcome evil with good because they actually discern between what is evil and what is good.”
Reaction to her reference to Hitler included some calls for her resignation. Miller later apologized and said some people were “trying to intentionally twist my words to mean something antithetical to my beliefs.”     Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
